San Jose State’s season-opening depth chart: Gray OR Potter at QB

Here is San Jose State’s depth chart for its season opener against the University of New Hampshire.

First, a few quick thoughts. The offensive two-deep includes seven freshman. None are starters, but Justin Holmes, Tae’on Mason and Bailey Gaither all crack the so-called two-deep, although it actually goes three deep in some spots, with Mason and Gaither doing so as true freshmen. Josh Oliver also debuts as the backup tight end after Brad Kuh was injured. Brandon Monroe has been moved to fullback.

According to a team spokesman, injured players were left off the depth chart, thus no Kuh or Jared Leaf, who is recovering from a concussion.

The seemingly set right side of the line does has two ORs on it, with it apparently not decided if Nate Velichko will indeed take the right tackle spot from Evan Sarver and Chris Gonzales not a lock to beat out senior Doug Blacksill at right guard. No surprise to still see an OR at quarterback.

On defense, three true freshman made the two-deep. Most impressively is probably that Bryson Bridges is a potential starter at DT. That’s tough to do as a true freshman, but a good sign because the Spartans need talent there.
